Among Men Songtext
von Half Formed Things

He wants to die alone, in a bed in Belfast
Safe in the arms of his knowledge and pride
He wants to make his mark on the earth with no effort
While we wait for a morning with no sun to come


"Mother! Mother!"

So he set down his heart, to walk freely among men
Unperturbed by the warplanes that swarmed overhead
"The sky is falling," he said, "don′t take cover"
"Lest the flayed white lies shoot through to greet you"

"Mother! Mother!"
